Why do people think KCP is a bum?

Alright, I've got some venting to do lol. Why the hell do fans think KCP is a bum?!?! My goodness, I was on another forum and everyone was in agreement that we should've drafted Burke, someone even suggested trading him for yet another Michigan player -_-. Anyways, what's so great about him, his 5 assists per game? Hell, Jennings averages more than that!

Also,KCP is a near elite defender and he's only a rookie! He's currently top 3 in turnovers and steals. I don't know what more you can ask for him. All I know is I'd take KCP over Burke 10 out of 10 times.

Taking him out of the starting lineup took the spotlight off of him a bit. I think he's in a good place mentally. He just needs to hit his shot at closer to 40 percent and he's the player we were hoping for. Afflalo improved his percentage over time.

This is a team that is in the bottom of the league in several categories, shooting, 3pt shooting and free throw shooting and the most disheartening...W-L record. With that being said, we are in dire need shooters and I believe KCP was drafted to be a shooting guard....the problem is he shoots and mostly misses. He doesn't drive enough to get to the line say like Rip did or even Stuckey does, so we are getting minimal offense from him.

If he can't shoot by his second year, then he becomes another Michael Curry....someone who starts just to defend the other teams starting guard and then gets pulled when we need offense.

He's a rookie. He's far and away the best defensive guard the team has, he's an outstanding rebounder for his position, and he has nice shooting form; if he can just develop some consistency shooting then he'll be a hugely valuable asset. I think his upside is much higher than Burke's, frankly.

And the team is better with him on the floor - he has the highest +/- of any rotational player, and I think that's mostly because he's actually capable of preventing other players from scoring.

He's not amazing, but again, he's a rookie. As always, wait at least three years to judge.

He came out as a Sophmore so thats probably most of the problem. Instead of being a Junior he is on a dysfunctional team with sporadic playing time. His draft prospect
was that he is a very good shooter so he does have the potential. I would give him another chance next year instead of moving him for some stupid 2nd round pick or something.
